Google's Action Makes A Mockery Of Its Values

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-think-about dept.

Jason Jardine linked us to a well written piece discussing how Google has thus far promised to Do No Evil, but their recent decisions regarding censorship in china make a mockery of those values. We've been following this story all along, but I thought this article makes good food for thought.

    There's an excellent article or two discussing Google past, present and future in today's Guardian, as well. The second one is the better.

    Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.

    Yeah just because the Chinese government kills a few protesters and then covers it up with the help of Google doesn't mean they're doing something evil in their culture. What they did wasn't even illegal. Get a grip, people.

    For those idiots who say that censored information is better than no information; consider these two views of history from Google.COM vs Google.CN.


    The censorship completely changes history.
